Klima Tropiko

--- CONTENT ---
Klima Tropiko (Greek: Κλίμα Τροπικό; ) is the name of a Greek album by singer Anna Vissi released in Greece and Cyprus in February 1996. It reached 2× Platinum, acclaiming both critical and commercial success and establishing Vissi's image as a pop icon and contemporary artist in both Greece and Cyprus. In 2000,Hülya Avşar covered the song in Turkish as "Sevdim" ("I loved").

In 2019, the album was selected for inclusion in the Panik Gold box set The Legendary Recordings 1982-2019. The release came after Panik's acquisition rights of Vissi's back catalogue from her previous record company Sony Music Greece. This box set was printed on a limited edition of 500 copies containing CD releases of all of her albums from 1982 to 2019 plus unreleased material.
