Popeye Village

This is without a doubt one of the most well-known films ever made in Malta. In this 1980 live-action picture, director Robert Altman reinvented the renowned spinach-eating cartoon sailor. The feature film was made in the town of Melliea, on Malta's northwest coast, and starred stars Robin Williams and Shelley Duvall.

If people want to take a journey down memory lane, people must sail through Anchor Bay while arranging the charter itinerary. Melliea was fully altered for filming, imitating the comic book settlement of Sweethaven, which is home to Popeye and Olive. The set grew incredibly intricate to accommodate both production facilities and personnel housing quarters — believe it or not, it took seven months to create. Following the completion of filming, the set was turned into one of the most famous tourist sites on the Maltese Islands, now known as "Popeye Village."

For the day, enjoy the view from the water or dock while visiting the set, being greeted by Popeye himself, and finding the merchants and activities. Whatever you choose, you will not be disappointed by the memories, the scenery, or the stunning bright blue ocean.
