Malta Popeye Village Tour: Two Entry Tickets Compared
A Malta Popeye Village tour is really an entry ticket: you get into the old film set village in Mellieħa and explore it at your own pace. Two listings sell it, both at $17 per person. Here is what each ticket covers, what changes in summer, and which one to book.
Quick answer
The short answer. For a Malta Popeye Village tour, book the filmset ticket at $17 per person: rated 4.7 from 2,689 reviews, with the upper and lower complex, the comic museum, a tour of the film set, and popcorn and a postcard included. The other ticket costs the same and is rated 4.6 from 2,610 reviews. Pick it if you want to walk in at any time during opening hours.

What you are booking
An entry ticket, not a guided trip
What the $17 buys on a Malta Popeye Village tour, before the details.
A Malta Popeye Village tour on this page means a ticket to the village itself, not a day out with a guide and transport. Neither listing mentions a hotel pick-up, so you make your own way there. The village stands in Anchor Bay, 3 km from the village core of Mellieħa.
It was built in 1979 as a film set, and the wooden houses are still there: a house, a school, a firehouse, a dentist and a bakery, all open for photos. Once inside, you walk around at your own pace and stay as long as you like during opening hours.
Both listings sell entry at the same price, and both say you skip the line through a separate entrance. The difference is in what each one spells out, and the filmset ticket spells out more.

Inside the village
What you can do inside the village
Seven things a Malta Popeye Village tour ticket lets you do, and which listing names them.
- The film set houses
The set from 1979 is the main sight: wooden houses on the rocks above the bay. The filmset ticket adds a tour of the set.
- The comic museum
Both tickets include it. The filmset listing calls it a comic and memorabilia museum.
- The village cinema
A short documentary about the film plays at the village cinema; both listings mention it.
- A filming experience
You act in a short film and later attend your own premiere, as the first listing puts it. The filmset ticket lists a filming experience too.
- Silver filigree
Both mention a silversmith demonstration: how traditional Maltese silver filigree is made.
- Mini-golf
A 9-hole course. The filmset listing places it in the upper complex.
- A scavenger hunt
Only the filmset ticket lists it: a hunt around the village for a missing jewel.
Summer
Summer at the bay below the village
In summer a Malta Popeye Village tour moves down to the water. The two listings describe it a little differently.
- An inflatable water park
Both list an inflatable water park in the bay in summer; the filmset ticket calls it an obstacle course.
- A pontoon and Bedouin beds
The filmset ticket lists a floating pontoon and Bedouin beds at the bay for the summer.
- Splash pools
The first listing names a splash pool or a covered play pool from May to October. The filmset ticket lists 2 splash pools and one with slides for kids.

After the village, a day on the water
A Malta Popeye Village tour fills a few hours, and the sea around Comino can fill the next day.

The lowest price on this site is $32 per person, for the near-identical route from the same pier.
Our top pick is the boat and bus day from Sliema at $50 per person: Gozo, Victoria and the Blue Lagoon in 7.5 hours. Compare all 11 in our list of boat trips.
