Savvas Agathangelou co-founded The Luxury Playbook and has spent years reporting from the prime postcodes the magazine covers — Mayfair, Knightsbridge, the Athens Riviera, Dubai's Palm crescents, and the southern Mediterranean coastlines where the world's wealthy keep coming back. His background is in international hospitality, and that frame shapes how he writes about property: the developer's choices, the architect's signature, the agency's bench of named brokers, the building's service standard once the buyer moves in. He files developer spotlights, agency profiles, and the seasonal "Properties That Defined" listicles, and he hosts the magazine's founder-and-leadership interviews on the Voices side.
