#29 Come Explore the Popeye Village with Me! 🇲🇹 马耳他有个大力水手村

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

Hello Steemians! Have you ever watched the old movie Popeye starring Robin Williams? Do you know where the film set is?

The answer is... Anchor Bay, Malta! As you can see from this picture, the Popeye Village consists of colorful rustic wooden houses and pathways. It was designed by Danish architect Hans Munk Hansen. So it’s also called Danish Village or Sweethaven Village.

Today it is converted into an attraction fun park and it is open to the public as an open-air museum. There are shows and rides, as well as play houses where children can climb and explore the village. You may also get to meet the main characters from the show such as Popeye, Olive Oyl, Bluto and Wimpy. In some of the houses, you can find props used in the film's production.

If you visit this place, don’t miss the chance of taking a twenty-minute boat trip around Anchor Bay, so you can view the village from the sea. If you want to try diving, this is also a great spot for it!

这些房子看着还没盖好似的😜 赞叹建房人取景选址的勇气。

嘿嘿 喜欢北欧设计师的风格 跟南欧的地貌风景结合 best from the both worlds!

Thanks for dropping by! :)

I've seen this movie a long time ago. It does indeed look rustic and colorful. I haven't been to Malta....yet :)

Yes it’s an old movie ;) You will be there sooner or later - this is what in my mind when looking at those attractive destinations that I haven’t been to. I know I will, you too, right? =)
