Greek island, base of the Minoan civilisation (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crete

(Other definitions for crete that I've seen before include "Large Greek island" , "Erect (anag) - Mediterranean island" , "Greek island, capital Heraklion" , "Herakleion its big port" , "Island whose largest city is Heraklion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
