Shrewd, getting a great deal in Cyprus (6)
I believe the answer is:
crafty
'shrewd' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'a great deal in cyprus' is the wordplay.
'a great deal' becomes 'raft' ('raft' can be a synonym of 'great deal'**).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'cyprus' becomes 'cy' (abbreviation).
'raft' put within 'cy' is 'CRAFTY'.
'getting' is the link.
(Other definitions for crafty that I've seen before include "Cunning, deceitful" , "Sly" , "'Cunning, wily (6)'" , "Cunning and ingenious" , "fly?" .)
