I believe the answer is:

niece

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'relative' is the definition.
(type of relative)

'majority of greece in flip-flops' is the wordplay.
'NIECE' is hidden backwards within the letters.
But, I'm uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for niece that I've seen before include "A sibling's child" , "Brother's daughter" , "Son's cousin" , "Preparation for curdling milk" , "A younger female relative" .)
