really nice village with wonderfull views. Boat trip is worth taken for sure, pine-apple and cherry wine tasted great, and it was included in a price, plus a post-card as a gift. Also there are nice short funny performances and documentary film. We came at 4pm and entrance fee was lower - 8 euro, but they close at 17.30 ,... More

It definitely worth the visit. It has some great views and cutest little houses. I loved it!! It's for all ages and they have sunbeds if you wish to spend the day by the sea after your visit (if the weather permits) The entrance fee is €10

The location of this village is wonderful. Very much enjoyed looking around it and seeing the houses, hearing how the film was made and seeing the actors. The price was a bit high for what was there, and as work was going on in the beach area we were not able to access it, or go on the boat trip.... More

Not bad value - but pool area was closed - would have been nice to have been told at time of entry. The animation team were entertaining.

After making the effort to go we really were disappointed. It is just a film set that is extremely dated. My children aged 4 and 7 didn't enjoy it at all.

It looks good, but there is nothing there other than a brief boat ride. It was pretty empty too. We could have been in and out in 10 minutes if it wasn't for queuing for the boat. They also have a fun house type thing that is focused on christmas, which was a little odd considering it's May!

Went to Popeye's Village recently during a holiday. Had a couple of hours there, as we had other things to see that day, but we needed longer to see it all. Firstly, there's a coffee shop in the car park, and if the kids are bored, there is a soft play area in a room to the side for them... More
