Popeye Village

Popeye Village, also known as Sweethaven Village, is a purpose-built film set village that has been converted into a small attraction fun park, consisting of a collection of rustic and ramshackle wooden buildings. It is located at Prajjet Bay/Anchor Bay, 3 km (2 mi) from the village core of Mellieħa, Malta.
It was built as a film set for the production of the 1980 live-action musical feature film Popeye, produced by Paramount Pictures and Walt Disney Productions starring Robin Williams and Shelley Duvall. It is open to the public as an open-air museum and seaside resort. Source: Wikipedia
Linking up with a bunch of fantastic peeps from the blogosphere who host Wordless Wednesday – Betty, Steve, image-in-ing, Xmas Dolly, Keith, Cathy, Sara, Esme Salon, CatSynth, and Suzana.
As you know Word hates me & things go where it wants to go no matter what I do. Well, I tried my old blog and WAH LAH! It worked in a matter of minutes. Oh sure, I need to brush up on a few things like sizing etc., but that’s not to bad! I hope you like what I’ve done. I love you Sis & thank you for everything that you do for me from the bottom of my heart. You helped me so much! SENDING BIG HUGS! My post is also at word… just sayin… it hates me!!!! 🙁 HAVE A GREAT DAY, MY SIS!!!! HUGS
I noticed you’re back on Blogger. You hated blogger, but if you’re happy then all is good. Love you. ♥
Yep, I do hate blogger, but at least the post goes where I want it to go only thing is I just noticed that never use an old Post. You taught me that… HOLY COW! I have 15 old comments… well, some of them, and it’s totally weird. Don’t ask me how that happened I have no idea, but live & learn as they say. I just saw my blog & gave the biggest sigh in the world. I got a headache… well, back to the drawing board. Luv ya & have a wonderful day!
You posted and that’s a good thing. A good day for you. Love you. 🙂
Love you too, dearest!!! My Sista… forever & always! Goodnite! hugs
What a beautiful village love the name 🙂
Have an OliveOiltastic week and WWS and thanks for hosting Sandee 👍
Me too. I love Popeye and Olive Oil. 🙂
Leaving the film set standing as a resort is a great idea (assuming all the buildings are sturdy enough). I wish they would do this with more sets — some of them look awesome. Of course nowadays with everything being CGI, there’s nothing to leave up…..
I want to go and visit. A cool place. 🙂
What a cute little village. Nice that they are putting it to good use after they finished filming. It would be fun to walk through there.
I would visit if I were near. A cool place. 🙂
What a cute little village!
It sure is. I love Popeye. 🙂
The rocks behind the buildings and the shoreline are so barren. It’s interesting that lush greenery and ocean makes this prettier. I remember the Popeye film with Robin Williams. He was such a good actor. Happy WW!
He sure was a good actor. Happy WW, Cathy. 🙂
That looks like a cool place to see!
It sure doe. I’ll be you and your pups would have a great time. 🙂
How cool is that!? If I ever get to Malta….have a great over the hump day!
That makes two of us. Happy hump day. 🙂
Popeye Village is so charming. It’s nice that they used the set after filming was done. Happy Wednesday, my friend!🙂
It sure is. I agree with you. Happy Wednesday to you too, my friend. 🙂
Very interesting! love that village and would like to visit it. had no idea it existed. thanks for the info
I didn’t know it existed either. Happy Wednesday, Sandra. Scritches to Beau. 🙂
The village is so perfect it doesn’t seem real. The colour of the water is amazing, too It would make a lovely place to visit as long as it’s not a miniature..
I thought so too. Such a cool place. It’s not miniature. 🙂
I never saw the movie but I loved the Popeye cartoons when growing up. The scenery around that set/village is so rugged and the water color is beautiful. Alana ramblinwitham
I want to visit here. Such a great place. 🙂
That’s a very pretty Village!
I love Popeye and Olive Oil. Such a fun movie. 🙂
Well, what do you know!
I hear you. I didn’t know it either. 🙂
That would be a fun place to visit. Thanks for hosting. Enjoy the rest of your week. XO
It sure would be a fun place to visit. Enjoy the rest of the week too, Ellen. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
That is a cool village and I bet a fun place to visit. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I’ll bet it’s a fun place to visit indeed. 🙂
One of the family favorite movies. “I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.”
I love all things Popeye. 🙂
The water looks so very refreshing…it was 80 degrees here at 6a.m. and we still have smoke for Canadian fires. Due to all the horrible HEAT, HUMIDITY AND SMOKE I have only had 1 EMW in 5 weeks, there is a chance of significant rain later that will clear the air.
Hugs Cecilia
California burned for summer after summer so I know what you’re dealing with. Hugs. 🙂
Happy Wednesday Sandee! Oh my, the colour of that water is incredible, what a supurr place to visit!!!
I hear you. Let’s go together. Have a great rest of the week. 🙂
It is someone’s failed planned beach front community. That someone is no longer in the business.
I think it would be a fun place to visit. I’d go with you. I love you, Kismet. 🙂
Amazing that it’s lasted all these years.
I hear you. I would love to see this in person. 🙂
It is nice to see one of these sets still in use. Many movie sets are simply abandoned after film production. There are sets from several Star Wars movies and Jurassic Park films that were just left to the elements. Even an island theme park or two have been abandoned by Disney once they became too small to meet the demand of visitors.
It’s good that folks can still enjoy this set. Happy rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
Interesting place!
Very much so. 🙂
That looks like a great place to visit. Happy Wednesday!
It sure does and I’d love to visit. Happy Wednesday, Yvonne. 🙂
Oh wow, who knew? I think it would be fun to visit.
I didn’t know this either and I’d love to visit. 🙂
Very interesting place! I did not realize that is possible to build a place only for some movies.
Thank you for all the details, Sandee!
Happy WW and a fine week! Hugs!❤️😘
Yes there are a lot of places that are built just for a movie. You’re most welcome. Happy rest of the week. Hugs. 🙂
Looks like a fun place to visit. Nice they kept it up after the movie was made. I did see the movie, it was a good one.
Happy Wednesday <3
I agree and would love to see this place in person. Happy Wednesday. 🙂
So beautiful.

I looks just like it should look. Rustic. Happy day and rest of the week to you and Ziggy. 🙂
Wow! I never knew that. I remember the town from the movie, it was very quaint…I’m glad they did something with it after the filming was finished!
I didn’t know it either and just happened onto this information. i want to go. 🙂
Gosh, look at that beautifully clear water! Amazing.
A beautiful place to visit. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
It’s so interesting how the “village” outlasted the movie and that we can now visit it 😺
Happy WW!
I agree. I would love to visit this place. Happy WW. 🙂

Such a pretty village – and in Malta, no less! 💖 The tour guide never mentioned it when we were there in 2018. Too bad we missed it. 😔
I want to go, Debbie. 🙂
That would be fun to visit. I hope you and Mr. Zane have some wonderful plans for the weekend, hugs!
