Island ways, we hear (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rhodes

'island' is the definition.
(Greek island)

'ways we hear' is the wordplay.
'ways' becomes 'roads' (road is a kind of way).
'we hear' shows a homophone (sound like).
'roads' is a homophone of 'RHODES'.

(Other definitions for rhodes that I've seen before include "Greek island, ten miles off the Turkish coast" , "Cycled round hot Society Island" , "Hordes go to the Greek island" , "Colonial businessman" , "Island, explorer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
