| 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! Caviar & Bull 📍Corinthia Hotel St. George's Bay San Ġiljan, STJ 3301, Malta What’s your favorite place in Malta? 🙌🙌 #Vacation #Village #food

On a recent visit to Malta, I went to Golden Bay for the incredible sunsets. Located in the north of the main island, it offers stunning views over the Mediterranean towards Italy. The beach itself is beautiful and has vendors offering jet skiing, yachting, and paragliding for the adventurous among us! There is also a hike that provides a panaroma over the beach. #malta #europe #sunset

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!

With crystal clear waters and some very pleasant beaches, Malta is a great place to come if you want to enjoy some beach time, even in the winter! The water is so inviting and with summer temperatures of over 35°C and winter temperatures often still around 20°C. Malta is a great choice for beach lovers. And beaches such as Golden Bay in the north west of Malta are a great place to catch some beautiful sunsets, especially in the autumn. #beachtime #malta #mediterranean #mediterraneansea

The best hotel I've stayed at on Oahu, Hawaii. Reasonable prices, and we had a great time. Highlights: 1. Great spot for kayaking, and kayak rentals are free 2. Good yoga classes 3. Amazing live music in the lobby 4. Beautiful garden design with great views of the channel and ocean 5. Friendly service at the front desk. If we return to Oahu, we would love to come back again.

Walked around the cliffside and saw this amazing building!

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.

#beachlife There's no doubt Malta is amongst the frontrunners on the summer holiday charts. With great weather and location, these sunny islands in the middle of the Mediterranean actually have something more to offer. On a recent holiday we discovered that Malta has an extraordinary amount of heritage structures. In fact officially it boasts the highest density of UNESCO structures worldwide. While the Grand Harbor, fortifications, cathedral and other attractions of Valletta, Malta are enough to keep anyone enthralled. It is the island's beaches that are among the very best in the Mediterranean and allow it to also hold its own among the best beach destinations in Europe. The remarkably clear water, perfect for snorkeling. Strong currents in some places are a downside, but there are lifeguards and warning signs. More typical of the main island of Malta itself are wonderful beaches such as Għajn Tuffieħa. A deep cove, nearly surrounded by rolling natural hillsides, it has warm, clear water and just enough facilities to remain enjoyable but unspoiled. Renting a car on the island is highly recommended as this will help you get to some remote and stunning beaches. #beachlife #cherryblossom2024 #malta

It is Malta it’s very amazing wonderful place with lots of seafood and seaside

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.

Majjistral National Park is Malta’s first natural national park, located in the northwest of the island. The park was named after the Maltese word for northwest wind, “majjistral”. It was declared a national park by the Government of Malta in September 2007. The park extends from Golden Bay to Il-Prajjet and ix- Xagħra l-Ħamra, and includes coastal cliffs as well as a rich ecological, cultural, and rural heritage. The park is open 24/7, and visitors can enjoy free access on foot. The park is a perfect place for walking, especially during the cooler months between October and April. The park also offers educational talks and walks, snorkeling events, and more to encourage people to enjoy the outdoors fully and to learn about nature and the environment. #2024wish
