"Popeye Village is a must-see for anybody visiting Malta; even if you don’t want to explore the village itself, parking high up on a nearby cliff will provide you with a stunning panorama of the area below.
Popeye Village, also called Sweethaven Village, is a small amusement park made up of a collection of quaint but rundown wooden structures that were originally constructed as a film set. Anchor Bay is around 3 kilometers from the center of Melliea, Malta.
It was constructed as a set for the 1980 live-action musical picture Popeye, starring Robin Williams and Shelley Duvall, and was produced by Paramount Pictures and Walt Disney Productions. It serves as a public beach and outdoor museum."

"Popeye village is an old film set currently used as a theme park. It's easy to reach by bus. Once in Malta you take line 301 and get off at Popeye busstop.
When visiting Popeye vilage don't forget to walk over to the viewpoint. It's free and the view is amazing. Then there's another mountain in the back. If you take a small hike up to that mountain you will have an amazing view over that hill."
