Popeye Village is one of Malta’s strangest attractions in the best possible way: a 1980 movie set that survived filming and became a family attraction above Anchor Bay. It is photogenic enough that many travellers stop only for the viewpoint, while families may spend several hours inside. Whether the entrance fee is worth it depends heavily on season, children’s ages and whether you want the included activities or simply the scenery.

Malta’s history did not begin with the Knights of St John. Thousands of years before Valletta existed, communities on the Maltese Islands built monumental stone complexes whose scale still feels extraordinary. Ħaġar Qim, Mnajdra, Ġgantija and the Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum are among the places that make Malta a serious archaeological destination, not simply a Mediterranean beach island.
