Combining a morning film set tour with an afternoon swimming trip to Comino. – Your Ultimate Travel Guide

The Ultimate Malta Day Out: From a Movie Set to Paradise!

Are you trying to plan the most epic, fun-filled day in Malta? Imagine this: you spend your morning laughing and exploring a real-life cartoon village, and then spend your afternoon floating in the most unbelievably blue water you’ve ever seen. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, it’s super easy to do, and we’re going to show you how to combine the whimsical fun of Popeye Village with the breathtaking beauty of the Blue Lagoon for a day you’ll never forget!

Step 1: A Morning with Popeye and Friends!

Your adventure begins in the charmingly wonky world of Sweethaven, better known as Popeye Village! Tucked away in the beautiful Anchor Bay, this is the actual film set from the 1980 movie. It’s a blast for everyone, whether you’re with family, friends, or your special someone. You can wander through the quirky wooden houses, meet Popeye the Sailor Man and Olive Oyl in person, and snap some hilarious photos.

The kids will love the play areas, and let’s be honest, the adults will too! It’s a perfect dose of nostalgia and fun to kickstart your day. Spend a few hours soaking up the silly atmosphere before your tropical afternoon escape.

Step 2: The Easiest Trip to a Tropical Paradise

Okay, you’ve had your fill of spinach and cartoon capers. What’s next? The famous Blue Lagoon! You might be thinking it’s a whole other trip for another day, but it’s actually right around the corner. This is the best part – getting there is a total breeze.

From Popeye Village in Anchor Bay, it’s just a quick ten-minute drive to the Cirkewwa ferry terminal. There’s no stress, no long journey, just a short, scenic trip to the boat. You’ll be swapping your walking shoes for flip-flops in no time!

Step 3: Welcome to the Glistening Blue Lagoon!

This is where your jaw will drop. The Blue Lagoon on the tiny island of Comino is famous for a reason. The water is an incredible shade of turquoise and so clear you can see right to the sandy bottom. It’s like swimming in a giant, natural swimming pool!

Grab your spot on the rocks, lay down your towel, and get ready to relax. Here’s what you need to pack for the perfect afternoon:

• Your favorite swimsuit (of course!)
• A big, fluffy towel
• Lots of sunscreen – that Maltese sun is lovely but strong!
• Snorkeling gear if you have it; the marine life is amazing.
• Your phone in a waterproof case for those unbelievable photos.

Spend the rest of your day swimming, floating, and just soaking in the incredible scenery. It’s the perfect way to cool off and unwind after your morning of exploration. Combining the man-made magic of Popeye Village with the natural wonder of the Blue Lagoon truly gives you the best of both worlds.
