Unruly hordes in the Mediterranean (6)
I believe the answer is:
rhodes
'the mediterranean' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'unruly hordes' is the wordplay.
'unruly' is an anagram indicator.
'hordes' anagrammed gives 'RHODES'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rhodes that I've seen before include "Greek island - British-born South African statesman" , "Greek island, ten miles off the Turkish coast" , "Aegean island" , "Colonial businessman" , "Largest island of the Dodecanese" .)
