Greek intellect in one's secret island (6)
I believe the answer is:
noesis
'greek intellect' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'one's secret island' is the wordplay.
'one's secret' becomes 'noes' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'island' becomes 'is' (abbreviation).
'noes'+'is'='NOESIS'
'in' is the link.
