For my last full day in Malta, I visited the preserved 1980 film set for the Robert Altman-directed "Popeye". Located in a coastal inlet, the site has been maintained as a sort of quirky tourist theme park.
I took a ferry from the main island to Malta's second-largest island, Gozo. A bus journey from the ferry port up to a high point on Gozo, the main city of Victoria (Ir-Rabat Għawdex).
Formerly a medieval fortress located in central Malta, perched on a hill giving all-round views of the island, is Mdina. Known as the silent city because vehicle access is restricted to locals only.
