Place the tentacles and the slices of feta cheese around the squid, making sure everything is in a single layer.

Make the marinade by putting the oil, garlic and oregano in a bowl and whisk together.
Season with salt and black pepper.

Remove one squid at a time and place 1 or 2 pieces of feta cheese and some of the oregano leaves inside the squid.

Preheat and oil a barbecue or grill on a low to medium setting and place the feta filled squid bodies onto the grill.
