Hike: Anchor Bay to Gnejna Bay

Popeye's Village (aka Sweethaven)

Ray, (one of the receptionists who works at the residence) kindly organised a hike for us all along the North-East coast. 110 of us prepared packed lunches and met in reception at 11am ready to get the buses to our starting point: Anchor Bay. 
We started with a perfect view of Popeye's Village also known as 'Sweethaven' which was built as a set for the 1980 hollywood musical Popeye starring Robin Williams which was filmed in Malta.

We then walked along the cliff tops and over the rocky terrain stopping just before Golden Bay for some lunch. Once at Golden Bay we had some time for swimming (yes the sea was still warm) and an ice cream before heading on to Ghajn Tuffieha to catch the sunset, finishing at Gnejna Bay where our minibuses were waiting.
