The village of Popeye's located on the main island of #malta is one of the kind tourist attraction. It offers relatively small beach even without sand but the thematic buildings are so amazing. You can find everything from the animation here. Even newly-made it looks so authentic and definitely worth a visit. There is also a public bus that runs nearby.

Eating spinach in Malta can really grow stronger! In the reality of the Popeye Village
Malta which country really has too many places that people are still unfinished, you can see the blue window, the blue hole and the blue lake "the endless blue" can be in the town You can also go to the home of the Popeye.
I believe that many people are no strangers to Popeye. I think this may be a memory of every 8090 childhood. You can get a strong wave of spinach and you often have troubles to save. The protected Olivo girlfriend was impressed by everyone who saw the cartoon or movie. Even the wave was even considered by each girl to be the "best boyfriend". After all, not every boyfriend can appear the first time when you are in trouble.
Malta's Popeye Village was the filming venue for the film at the time. The village never went to the scene according to the animation one by one. Although the film didn't have much report, it was recognized by a lot of comic fans until Now, it has become a new landmark in Malta that must be punched in addition to San Lan.
After entering the village, you can see the movie posters of the Popeyes on both sides. The three "protagonists" stand there, taking photos with everyone who comes here enthusiastically, although the camera feels personally Not quite like, but always complete a childhood thoughts.
Here, you can personally do a "bad guy" to bully Olivo, but the wave is "beat", you can take the admission ticket to the "Sailor Bar" to get a free "Sailor meal" "This is really a "canned spinach" oh ~
all the houses in the village are colorful, you can try to find the "Pois" home, and then go to him to eat something, Or go to the opposite side and climb up to the top to overlook the entire Popeye Village!

Remember when I was young, I often started to eat spinach after watching the Popeye. After eating, I began to show off my weak biceps, and I said that I was a strong sailor. When I grew up, I found that the Popeye Village really existed, and it was in my heart of Malta. As a loyalty to the Popeye, this is definitely one of the places where you have to punch in!

Popeye Village | The fairy tale world that people born in the 80s long for has been found by me!
| The fairy tale world that people born in the 80s long for has been found by me!.
“I am Popeye the Sailor Man, I love to eat spinach, and thus I am incredibly strong!”
——Popeye
🛶 'Popeye the Sailor Man' was one of my favorite cartoons in childhood! The images of the protagonist Popeye, his girlfriend Olive, and the villain Bluto are still vivid in my memory. Whenever Popeye needed energy, he would open a can of spinach, eat it heartily, and then puff on his pipe.
🛟 Watching Popeye as a child also changed my perception of 'spinach', making me believe that eating more spinach could give me magical strength like Popeye's~
⚓️ I never imagined that the colorful seaside cabin where the character Popeye (Popeye) lives actually exists. It turns out there is a place in the world called 'Popeye Village'! Everything there is a 1:1 perfect restoration from the comic, and characters from the cartoon would occasionally pop out to greet you, taking me back to my childhood dreams.
❤️{About the story of Popeye Village}
📍Popeye Village
It is also known as Sweethaven Village
Located at the northwest end of the island of Malta in the central Mediterranean 🇲🇹, it is a town that seems to have walked out of a comic book. Hollywood decided to shoot a live-action movie of the same name in 1980, and after careful selection, the production team chose this bay in Malta for the outdoor scenes.
To highlight the power of Popeye, each cabin was deliberately designed to look rickety, comically standing by the sea. This turned the originally monotonous fishing village into an internet-famous spot for checking in. The town has a barber shop, bakery, fish shop, post office, dock...
The water here is so clear that it's free of any impurities, and even in winter, even for someone like me who can't swim, I want to jump into this vast body of water and swim freely! Standing at any corner of the island, a casual snapshot with my phone turns into a masterpiece.
❤️{What to do in Popeye Village?}
✔️ Play treasure hunt games in the village, watch live puppet shows, and visit the museum.
✔️ There are parades at different times of the day, and by noon, the gentle and beautiful Olive will appear in the square, and you can even pretend to be a character from the play and immerse yourself in the story.
✔️ Take a photo with the actor playing Popeye, who struts by with that perpetually smokeless pipe in his mouth, and sometimes, when he feels like it, a casual stamp of his foot seems to shake the whole village.
✔️ Relive the 1980s live-action Popeye movie in the cinema.
✔️ In the Sailor's Bar, you can taste the best-selling canned spinach.
✔️ The entire Popeye Village is not big, and you can enter every little wooden house. It preserves the scenes from the movie very well, giving a strong sense of immersion.
✔️ Super suitable for taking photos! All kinds of colorful wooden houses, cartoon shapes, enough to shoot for an entire afternoon~ Find the warm childhood dream of the sailor hero!
🎫 Winter ticket price 15 euros
🎫 Summer ticket price 22 euros
Each person can get a postcard + a portion of popcorn
⏰ Suggested visiting time
Winter: 2-3 hours is enough to visit the scenic area
Summer: You can play for a whole day
Remember to bring a swimsuit if you plan to swim in the sea
‼️ If you just want to take panoramic photos, there's no need to buy a ticket specifically, just walk to the viewing platform opposite the attraction for the most beautiful check-in spot.

Popeye Village, where fairy tales shine into reality
After more than three years, I finally returned to Europe, and this time my destination is the pearl on the Mediterranean - Malta.
Upon arriving in Malta, my first stop was this Popeye Village. This is a dreamy tourist spot themed around the cartoon character Popeye. It really is a place where fairy tales can shine into reality and return to innocence.
❤️Recommendation
Popeye Village is located at the northwest end of the main island of Malta, connected to Anchor Bay. If you come here in the summer, you can go swimming directly, but remember to bring your swimsuit.
The movie 'Popeye' starring Robin Williams was also filmed here.
The entire village is themed around Popeye and other classic cartoon characters, presenting a colorful, nostalgic, quirky, fun and interactive dreamlike village. Everyone can enjoy Popeye's wooden houses, stages, theaters, etc., as well as various entertainment projects and performances, allowing visitors to experience the fantasy world in the movie.
📸Shooting Tips
1. After arriving at Popeye Village, go to the cliff opposite to shoot the panoramic view of the sailor village. But now there is a wire fence, not suitable for shooting people
2. After entering the village, you can take photos with various cartoon characters
3. Good weather is crucial, the entire village is very saturated.
⏰Tour time: 2-3 hours
🎫Ticket price: 22 euros
📍Navigation: Popeye Village
🚗Transportation: It is recommended to take a taxi (more than 20 euros) or drive from the capital Valletta or Sliema. If you take a bus, it costs 2 euros per person, but it takes a long time and you have to walk about fifteen minutes after getting off the station.

Malta Experience - Popeye’s Village
#timetotravel#trip #instatravel #Popeye #beachlife #beach #Malta
Last stop in Malta is the famous tourist attraction: Popeye Village.
Popeye Village was used as the movie setting for the movie — Yep, your guess is correct — Popeye! There, not only you can learn everything about the movie but also you can RELIVE the Popeye movie through your own body.
Highly recommend to take the village tour and the acting tour. In the latter tour, the tour guide will transformed into the director / camera man to direct you to get yourself into the character and film you as the characters from the movie in the original movie setting !!!
