Popeye Village
I think one of the most baffling experiences I've had in my travels is visiting "Popeye Village" in Malta. At first when I arrived to Malta and saw brochures for this, I thought it was an actual village that earned the nickname "Popeye Village" because of the 1980 Robin Williams Popeye movie having been filmed there. But later I find out it's actually the set that was built for the movie which is now converted to a Popeye Theme Park complete with Popeye characters walking around in costume with a thick Maltese accent.
