A gorgeous Greek getaway

If your idea of a perfect holiday is one where the days are filled with adventure and cruising beautiful coastlines and the nights are spent dancing at a beach club with your best friends, then chartering a yacht in Mykonos is certainly worth considering.

This is the ideal holiday to allow you to enjoy your favourite water sports, visit the most on-trend clubs and restaurants, all whilst exploring one of the most beautiful island destinations in the Mediterranean from the luxury of your own private yacht. Is there anything more tempting than the thought of a private chef, dedicated captain and crew and access to private anchorages so you can stop almost anywhere you want? Your captain and crew will know exactly where to go to find unspoiled bays and beaches that boast clear blue waters, perfect for swimming and snorkelling. Your yacht will also have a range of water sports equipment on board so you can enjoy adventure as well as luxury on your island holiday. These include jet skis, paddle boards, kayaks and snorkels, along with a tender boat to take you ashore when you’d like to visit one of the island’s beaches or spend a day shopping in the sun. Yacht charter specialists, West Nautical, can help you design the ultimate yacht holiday itinerary in Mykonos that meets your each and every desire.

About Mykonos It’s the most beautiful island located in the Aegean Sea, famous for its parties and extravagant lifestyle. Not only is this gorgeous Greek island home to epic beach clubs and restaurants but its natural beauty, picturesque beaches, and quaint Cycladic architecture make it the perfect place to have a holiday filled with luxury, relaxation and parties. Marvel at a magical sunset from Little Venice where you’ll be able to see the iconic windmills,

Set your anchor Mykonos is home to beautiful anchorages where you will find pristine beaches and marinas, giving you easy access to seaside restaurants. The crystal-clear water makes these anchorages the perfect spots for an afternoon of swimming or trying your hand at water skiing behind the yacht’s tender. One of the most popular anchorages on the South coast is Ornos Bay, only 3km from Mykonos Town making it the perfect place for an overnight stay. Elia Bay is a large bay perfect for water sports and a day of sunbathing on board with your favourite cocktail in hand. There is also a taverna ashore that serves the most delicious seafood.

Beautiful beaches Mykonos is truly a beach paradise island. With the water ranging from crystal clear to the brightest blue, with golden or bright white sand, there is a new beach to visit every day. You’ll struggle to choose a favourite. The most famous beaches are Super Paradise, Paradise Beach, Platis Gialos and Lia. Not only famous for their beauty and beach clubs, these idyllic spots are perfect for spending an afternoon windsurfing or kitesurfing. Paradise, Super Paradise and Paraga are the best beaches for a party whereas Ornos and Platis Gialos are more low-key, perfect for a chilled day with your friends. For more of a hidden beach, perfect to reach with the yacht’s tender, visit Lia, where a true off-thebeaten-track beach day awaits. Your own little piece of paradise.

Restaurants and bars Mykonos is home to many traditional Greek restaurants but is better known for its Mediterranean cuisine, fresh seafood and mezze dining culture. Ranging from rustic tavernas on the cobbles to fine dining restaurants, this island has something for everyone. Interni, located on one of Chora’s most fashionable shopping streets, is one of the island’s most trendy restaurants. With artistic decor and punchy music levels, the ambience is perfect for a pre-party dinner. Think Mediterranean Asian fusion with dishes such as beef tataki and ceviche featuring on the menu. Hippie Fish, once a humble taverna, was catapulted to fame after featuring in the 1989 film, Shirley Valentine. It has since had a revamp complete with oversized rattan lampshades, colourful cushions and white tablecloths. This oasis looks right onto the beach and serves everything from a delicious Greek breakfast to a fine dining experience. The Queen of Mykonos is a champagne and cocktail bar attracting big spenders, located on a street lined with designer boutiques. This is the perfect location to end a day of shopping with a bottle of Dom Perignon.

Beach clubs With Mykonos being one of the Med’s top party destinations, naturally it’s home to some of the world’s best beach clubs. Why not arrive at the beach club in true jet-setter style, straight from your yacht anchored right outside! Paradise Beach Club is no doubt the most famous of them all. Founded in 1969 and crowned 14th best open-air club in the world, it’s become known as the ultimate party destination in Greece. By day, you can enjoy VIP treatment on one of the many sunbeds or lounging areas, sip a cocktail or take a dip, all to the soundtrack of the DJ’s set. When the sun goes down, dance the night away in this epic open-air clubbing venue where Tiesto and Afrojack have been known to play. Super Paradise Beach Club attracts celebrities and models, enjoying DJ sets at night and a more mellow atmosphere during the day. The party gets going in the afternoons although spontaneous parties have been known to erupt at all times of day. Jackie O’ Beach Club is upmarket and offers a pool, jacuzzi and a full-service beach. Their Mediterranean restaurant and all-day bar serve exceptional seafood and you can expect to see a drag show around 8pm. There’s never a dull moment in Mykonos! SantAnna is the island’s most luxurious beach club in Mykonos boasting a full entertainment complex including a private beach, a traditional Greek taverna, a sushi bar, four cocktail bars, a free form pool and a full-service spa and salon – all in all, the ultimate luxurious day ashore. You will find seven private islands within the pool, each with their own bars and butler service. There is even an underwater suite with a king-sized bed!

Nightlife Last but not least; the Mykonos nightlife! This island is home to over 100 bars and clubs, making it the place to party in the Mediterranean. Ranging from sophisticated cocktail bars and beach clubs to all-out night clubs, you’ll be sure to find a venue to suit your vibe. There is no such thing as a quiet night in Mykonos. Many top DJ’s have graced the clubs and beaches of Mykonos with one of their uplifting sets, creating an unforgettable night of dancing and cocktails at the beach. Many clubs will stay open well past dawn making this a destination where the party never stops!

Lexus hybrid

Introducing the first-ever All-New Lexus NX 450 PlugIn Hybrid and the All-New NX 350 Self Charging Hybrid.

The NX has been a best-selling model for Lexus for the past six years; with many of their customers switching over to Lexus, this has been a key contributor to the brand’s growth. With 95 per cent of the NX’s components being new, the All-New Lexus NX creates an original vision in its exterior and interior design - whilst being available as both a Self-Charging and Plug-In Hybrid powertrain. With impressive yet refined power and acceleration combined with extended range in EV mode, you can feel the sensation of refinement and exhilaration, whether you’re navigating through the motorway or the country lanes.

All-New NX Specifications The All-New NX comes with three equipment grades for the NX 350h: NX, F Sport and Takumi. The NX grades can also be enhanced with Premium Pack and Premium Plus Pack versions. The same grade structure applies to the NX 450h+ Plug-In Hybrid, but not including the NX entry point version. Equipment highlights for the NX include 18-inch alloy wheels; Lexus Link Connect with 9.8-inch multimedia and cloud navigation system; Tahara synthetic leather upholstery; bi-LED headlights with Automatic High Beam and the new generation Lexus Safety System+.

Plug-In Hybrid Vehicle (PHEV) As a pioneer of petrol-electric evolution for decades, the Halo electrified model in the New NX range features a four-cylinder 2.5-litre Hybrid engine and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with 18.1 kWh. The addition to the rear electric motor enables full-time all-wheel drive. The Plug-In system produces 306 DIN hp and is boosted to give 0-60mph acceleration in a little over six seconds. EV driving range of more than 40miles enables all-electric driving at speeds up to 83 mph. The Lexus Plug-In Hybrid maintains high efficiency when the battery is becoming tired. In many competitors, operation defaults to an internal combustion engine, but in the NX 450h+ the default is to an efficient self-charging Hybrid system. In these circumstances, the NX’s efficiency is expected to be as much as 20% greater than competitor systems.
