The first step is to marinate the calamari. In a large zip bag, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the calamari to the bag and seal it tightly. Marinate the calamari for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. Once the calamari is marinated, heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the grates with olive oil to prevent the calamari from sticking. Grill the calamari for 2 to 2-1/2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. While the calamari is grilling, make the Mediterranean salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, olives, onion, capers, parsley, and oregano. Add the remaining olive oil and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. To serve, place the grilled calamari on a serving platter and top with the Mediterranean salsa.
