Popeye Village + transport

Experience one of Malta’s most iconic landmarks with our dedicated Popeye Village Malta Transport service. Enjoy a smooth, comfortable journey to the famous Anchor Bay film set, free from the stress of parking, navigation or public transit. Originally constructed in 1979 for the 1980 musical Popeye starring Robin Williams, this colourful wooden village has grown into one of the island’s best-loved attractions. Whether you’re visiting as a family, couple or group, prepare for a day of entertainment and history set against the breathtaking backdrop of Malta’s rugged northwest coast.

A real film set you can still explore

As soon as you arrive, you’ll recognise the charming wooden houses overlooking the crystal-clear waters of Anchor Bay. Every building was specially constructed for the movie using timber imported from Canada and Europe. Rather than dismantling the set after filming, the village was preserved and turned into an interactive attraction. It remains one of the few complete film sets in the world that visitors can still explore today.

Step onto the movie set

Stepping into Popeye Village feels like walking into the film itself. The lively streets are lined with original movie sets, spirited performances and iconic characters that bring the story to life. Meet Popeye, Olive Oyl and other familiar faces while enjoying live shows throughout the day. Whether you’re travelling with family or you’re a cinema enthusiast, discovery awaits around every corner.

What you can see and do

The village offers far more than sightseeing alone. Highlights include:

A day by the sea at Anchor Bay

Popeye Village comes to life in the summer season, offering an even livelier experience. Guests can swim in the crystal-clear waters of Anchor Bay, lounge on floating sun decks or enjoy a range of water activities. This blend of seaside relaxation and family entertainment sets it apart as one of Malta’s most unusual attractions, while the backdrop of limestone cliffs and turquoise water makes it a favourite spot for photographers.

A different experience every season

Popeye Village changes with the seasons, offering something fresh for every visitor. From themed Halloween activities and festive Christmas lights to the charm of Easter celebrations, the village is always transforming. No matter when you visit Malta, there’s something new to discover.
