| 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!

There is also a hike that provides a panaroma over the beach. #malta #europe #sunset

#Overseas Travel On a hill in Malta, there is a colorful and unique Popeye Village. This Popeye Village was the filming location for the 1979 live-action version of the movie and has been preserved intact ever since. It is now a Popeye museum and a theme park, open to the public to rediscover childhood memories. Every house in Popeye Village is built uniquely and cutely. The village has a fire station, post office, bakery, Popeye's former residence, etc., preserving the old movie scenes. There were also staff members in the village dressed as Popeye, making it look like they had walked into a cartoon. There is also a seaside bar, souvenir shop, small cinema, children's swimming pool, etc. in the village. There are also puppet shows and guided tours performed on schedule. 📍 Popeye village Triq Tal-Prajjet, Il-Mellieħa #Overseas Travel #Malta Travel #Europe Travel

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 is a fun and charming theme park located in a picturesque Mediterranean setting. Originally the set for the 1980 film "Popeye”. 💞Reasons to Recommend: crystals clear water, colorful buildings, live shows, and cinema. 💰Average Price per Person: €15 (free postcard and 🍿) A must-visit for Popeye fans and anyone looking for a unique and relaxing outing in #malta 🇲🇹

I didn’t expect that my beloved 😍 detective also went to this niche country. Malta 🇲🇹 is a Schengen visa country of the European Union.

It is also one of the filming locations of Game of Thrones. 🌊The old capital of Mdina is a well-preserved medieval fortress. The city walls and fortresses stand on steep cliffs. The roads inside the ancient city are narrow and tortuous. The goose yellow city walls look ancient and vicissitudes under the light and shadow. 🌊Dingli Cliff is the highest point in the Maltese Islands. The top of the cliff is open and you can overlook the blue Mediterranean Sea. The scenery is rough and desolate. You can enjoy the majestic ancient buildings, winding goat islands, abandoned trenches, blue bays, and the sunset is even more intoxicating. 🌊Blue Window is located at the end of the cliff.

What is an apiary, you may ask? Apiaries are a place where honeybees are kept to produce honey.

St Paul’s Island is a small island off the north east coast of Malta. According to legend it’s close to the location where Saint Paul was shipwrecked on his way to Rome in around 60 A.D. On the island there is a statue of Saint Paul gazing out to sea. The island has a rugged beauty and is often deserted as it can only really be reached easily by boat. #malta #mediterranean #island

Walking around the quiet streets of Mellieha, a town in the north of the Mediterranean island of Malta, is a real pleasure.

A great way to enjoy a lovely sunny afternoon is to have a lovely lazy weekend lunch. Which is exactly what we did recently in Mellieha at the Villager restaurant. The menu is fairly limited but seasonal and they have an interesting selection of dishes. If you’re visiting Mellieha in Malta this year and looking for a nice place for lunch or dinner, I would definitely recommend the Villager restaurant.

Selmun Palace or Selmun Tower as it is also known was built by the Knights of St John in the 1700s. Although it looks very much like a fort (it was built in the style of the previous century) it was in fact originally built as a hunting lodge. More recently a hotel was built behind the palace but has been closed since 2011 however it is quite fun to explore. #malta #mediterranean #fort

Mellieha is a village in the north of Malta and is most famous for the large sandy beach located nearby called Ghadira Bay. However, if you’re travelling to the north of Malta, don’t miss spending a little bit of time in Mellieha itself for a slice of authentic Malta away from the thongs of tourist at more popular areas. Mellieha Paris Church is one of my favourite churches in Malta and the sanctuary of our lady of Mellieha and the shrine there also tranquil and calm. Don’t miss out on Mellieha if you visit Malta in 2025. #mellieha #malta #mediterranean

One of the best ways to celebrate the weekend and particularly Sunday is to treat yourself to Italian style breakfast especially here on the Mediterranean island of Malta you can enjoy the sunny relaxing Sunday mornings enjoying coffee and croissants.

What better way to celebrate the weekend then with a catch up with friends over coffee? This is exactly what we did it on a recent weekend at Gems Bistro Café in Mellieha in the north of Malta.

What better way to start Valentine’s Day then to have a hearty breakfast we went to Al Ponte in Mellieha to enjoy the full English breakfast. The restaurant is part of a hotel, but it is open to non-guest also. The food is mainly Italian dishes including pasta and pizza they also do fish and meat dishes. The restaurant is right in the heart of Mellieha with great transport links. #celebrateit #valentinesday #breakfast

A really romantic ‘hidden’ spot away from the hordes of tourists is the Selmun bar and Restaurant it’s a beautiful rustic countryside establishment surrounded by beautiful nature. They were lovely walks in the area and possible to walk to the coastline and find some romantic quiet spots to enjoy the beauty of nature and go swimming with your date. At the restaurant I recommend the horse meat with the carob sauce and don’t forget to try the local favourite drink, Kinnie. #celebrateit #romantic #couplestrip #malta

What better way than to start your birthday then with a delicious birthday breakfast and that’s exactly what you can find at Belleview restaurant in Mellieha on the island of Malta.
