Popeye Village (Sweethaven Village)

Highlight • Structure

Set for the film "Popeye" with Robin Williams from 1980. Very picturesque. Today you can visit the colorful village and have fun in the fantasy world.

View of Popeye Village

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great view of the Popeye Village movie set. Is an amusement park ... but did not visit it, the great view was enough

The hike is rated as moderately difficult. The paths are partly very steep and consist only of crumbled clay, making them slippery and dangerous, as a slide would lead directly into the abyss and the sea at least 30 meters below. I've therefore turned around and can't go at the moment, regardless of footwear.

Qarraba Hill and view of Għajn Tuffieħa and Ġnejna Bays

Highlight • Viewpoint

It is not easy to reach this point, at least not in flip flops!
I recommend a nice pair of closed shoes, which have a good grip, because the path from Ġnejna bay is quite steep, with gravel and unstable rocks.
Towards Għajn Tuffieħa bay is more practicable.
The view is breathtaking, recommended at sunset!

Clay Cliffs at Ġnejna Bay

Highlight • Natural Monument

These mud slopes are very unstable after a small landslide. Fortunately, no one sunbathed near the Ġnejna bay when the clay came down. The slopes have an angle of inclination (over 45 degrees), so they are very unstable. The area is not easy to get to, but it does offer spectacular sunset views and a relatively secluded area for swimming.
