Is 'directness' definitely in that first clue (or has, perhaps, your spell-checker inserted it in error?), as it seems to make no sense as it stands.
Question Author
Dodecanese
Chalki
1 Rhodes
Rhodes is indeed the largest but won't fit with Cartel.
^^^ I was trusting the 'C' at the start. ('Chalki' is the only island which fits). However a quick look at a map suggests that 'Rhodes' is, indeed, the correct answer. Sorry!
Is Cartel wrong then?
I'm wondering if the setter was confused by some travel firms who offer holidays to both 'Rhodes' and to 'The Dodecanese Islands', when they should really refer to 'The Other Dodecanese Islands'?
Curely though Chalki is amogst the smallest with 478 population?
argggh

Surely though Chalki is amongst the smallest with 478 population?
Seems like a setter's error
