Crossword Genius

Girl in Izmir I saw (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

iris

'girl' is the definition.
(girl's name)

'in izmir i saw' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'IRIS' is hidden within 'izmir i saw'.

(Other definitions for iris that I've seen before include "Flag,flower and part of the eye" , "- - Murdoch, novelist" , "Camera diaphragm" , "who keeps pupil in?" , "--- Murdoch, author" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
