Otok je grad u istočnoj Hrvatskoj, smješten 20 km južno od Vinkovaca, u istočnoj Slavoniji. Otok se prvi put spominje u XII st. kao Ottok, a spominje se i između 1333. i 1335. kada je papin legat pohodio ovo selo tri puta i u toj župi dobio je osrednju svotu. U daljnjem razvitku tog velikog sela steklo je trgovački značaj koji se održao i nastavio razvijati sve do dolaska Turaka.Ne zna se je li ime dobio po čestim poplavama Save i Bosuta ili zbog toga što je poput otoka smješten u okruženju šuma, ali se zna da je Otok kroz povijest dijelio sudbinu susjednih gradova i mjesta. Od Vinkovaca, Vukovara ili Županje dijeli ga samo dvadesetak kilometara, pa ako ste u bilo kojem od ova tri slavonska grada, eto prigode da posjetite Otok.

This town dates back to the 12th century. I enjoyed the beauty of this town. It was a wonderful place to just relax and unwind and enjoy the view of the dense forests. It is such a wonderful town with amazing religious sites.

This ancient village has been in existence since the 12th century and it was home to the ottomans. It has been highly maintained since then, since it is a great stop for tourists who are fans of ancient history. I had to come see for myself and record has great memory.
