Ilok, Croatia Cruise Port

Ilok is the easternmost town in Croatia, located in the Syrmia region on the Fruška Gora hill overlooking the Danube river. It has a rich history that dates back to the Roman times, when it was a border fortress called Cuccium. Ilok was also a royal residence and a wine-producing center in the Middle Ages, ruled by the powerful Nikola Ilocki, who was a claimant to the throne of Bosnia and Hungary. Ilok is famous for its medieval fortifications, its Odescalchi Castle that hosts a museum, and its two Ottoman monuments: a Turkish bath and a grave of a Turkish nobleman. Ilok is also known for its wine-growing hills, where the local grape variety called Graševina produces a high-quality white wine. Ilok is a charming and authentic destination for those who love nature, culture and gastronomy.
