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 It was raining heavily when we got off the bus and walked there The whole group didn't even spare the grass a little taller, and immediately hid However soon the sun came out again There is half a rainbow It's the sea again The set of Popeye It is quite cool, and there are little games to play There are games played in childhood There are also popcorns for free However it is tasteless!
