Popeye Village was originally built as a film set for the 1980 live-action musical Popeye, starring Robin Williams. It’s located in Anchor Bay, two miles from the village of Mellieħa, in northern Malta. After the film production, Popeye Village — or Sweethaven Village — was turned into a small amusement park. Visitors can wander around the ramshackle buildings, meet characters and enjoy puppet shows. You can even watch the film there (it was a bit of a flop though, sadly). If you’re a comic book fan and a Popeye purist, there’s a comic museum, too. Entrance is free.
