Ilok, taj stari kraljevski grad uzdiže se iznad Dunava, u području Srijema, okružen obroncima Fruške gore i nepreglednim vinogradima, baštineći svoju bogatu i burnu prošlost. Ime Ilok prvi se put, naime, spominje još 1267. godine, a najpoznatiji vlasnik Iloka bio je Nikola Iločki, u 15. stoljeću, hrvatsko-ugarski velikaš u čije je doba gradska jezgra utvrđena zidinama koje su većinom očuvane, i danas su jedna od znamenitosti Iloka.Ilok je našao svoje mjesto na turističkoj karti Hrvatske, a osim domaćih, taj pitomi gradić na krajnjem hrvatskom istoku sve češće posjećuju i gosti iz europskih zemlja, odlazeći puni dojmova o iločkim ljepotama i moćnom Dunavu, vinu i tamošnjim gastrodelicijama, miru i polaganom ritmu života tamošnjih stanovnika. Ilok, kao najistočnije naselje Republike Hrvatske, često nosi i naziv “mjesta gdje počinje Hrvatska“.Uz Ilok veže se i još jedna zgodna crtica iz povijesti s pitanjem “Zašto crkvena zvona zvone u podne?“. Uobičajena i svakodnevna činjenica da crkvena zvona zvone u podne ima snažnu vezu s Ilokom i Kapistranom. Kada je, naime, vijest o pobjedi kršćanske vojske nad Turcima kod Beograda pod vodstvom Ivana Hunjadija (Sibinjanin Janko), i Kapistrana stigla do tadašnjeg pape u Rimu ovaj je naredio da zazvone sva zvona u to ime i slavu. Taj čin ostao je dio kršćanskog vjerskog rituala i dandanas.

I and my girl squad had the perfect trip to this town. We rented a beautiful apartment with spacious clean rooms and huge gardens. We held outdoor parties around large bonfires. We enjoyed wines and dancing until morning. It was a splendid trip.

This town serves very savory dishes. It's a multicultural town hence the cuisines are diverse. There is fish, meat, and delicious salads all served by smiling hosts. I look forward to another visit this summer.
