| 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.

I was recommended by my friend. She was telling me how beautiful Malta was and here we go! I spent 4days and 3 nights in Malta. Aside from all the tourists spots, I would recommend you to visit Popeyes village. This is not somewhere that will be recommended to tourist, kinda like hidden spot. The village was built in 1980 for film and it became the major tourist attractions in Malta. Trust me! It is definitely worth to visit. The sea view and houses around were just amazing, especially during the evening. From Valletta, you can take 222 bus to Mellieha Bay, change to 237 bus to reach the village. There are many “taking picture” spots that you can explore around. Popeye Village 📍Triq Tal-Prajjet, Il-Mellieħa, Malta In Malta, I was exploring around their local food. I would definitely recommend you to try Caviar& Bull. The caviar tasted so good! Aside from Caviar, we ordered Beef Rib eyes and spaghetti as our main. The beef rib eyes was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ but the spaghetti sauce was a lil to sour for us. We also ordered baked pumpkin. It doesn’t taste like normal pumpkin that we usually had. But we find it very interesting. As a coconut lover, I ordered one of the cocktail from the drinks menu. It was kinda like pineapple 🍍 + coconut 🥥. It tastes so so good and it was served with a layer of shredded coconut on top. P/s: The bread that they served before meal was so delicious and we even ordered extra portion! Haha 😆 So check it out!

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!

Have you ever heard of or perhaps seen the 1980s musical film production Popeye starring Robin Williams? Well, the film was set in Malta and they created a complete ‘village’ for the film. After the camera crew left the film set was turned into a theme park. In the summer they have live shows and it’s a fun little place to visit, especially if you have kids. #getgoing2025 #malta #popeyefilm #popeye

I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the place that exists in our childhood memories - Popeye Village. Although I didn't enter the park, I felt its unique and fairytale-like charm through the embrace of the ocean. 🏰💫 Standing by the sea, looking at the colorful little houses from afar, it was as if the scenes from the cartoon suddenly became real, and every detail was so vivid and familiar. Under the blue sky and white clouds, Popeye Village was peaceful and vibrant, reminding me of the cartoons we used to watch together, the same scenes that touched the soft memories of childhood. 🎨🌞 Even just standing outside the village, I could deeply feel the magic here. The sea breeze gently brushed by, carrying a slightly salty scent, and the waves lapped against the shore, making a peaceful yet powerful sound, everything seemed so harmonious and beautiful. 🌬🌊 This trip made me deeply feel the intersection of fairy tales and reality, and the magic that belongs only to Malta. This is not just a tourist attraction, but a place where the soul can be healed.
