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.

The rich history of the Ilok town is what fascinated me, the town has several historical sites that are worth visiting. The beautiful fortresses and monasteries were built using great designs that made them outstanding. I had a great trip

The slow pace of life of the inhabitants was a thing that caught my attention. The wine was sweet and was best served with the great traditional meals prepared by the locals. They were very friendly and welcoming.

The sight of the endless vine trees at this place was amazing. Some of the trees are believed to be as old as nature itself. Coupled with the beauty of the slopes, this place was the best place to be.

I loved this place with it's beautiful vine trees. I was in need of a passive vacation. I and my husband wanted a peaceful place where we could have an alone time together. We enjoyed walking in the vineyards together then later we cuddled at the fireplace in our cozy hotel room. It was an amazing experience.
