Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well mixed.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, olive oil, vanilla extract, and honey. Whisk until smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients gradually, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are fine in the batter.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading slightly with a spatula if necessary. Cook according to your waffle iron's instructions until the waffles are golden brown and fully cooked, usually about 4-5 minutes.
Remove the waffles from the iron and repeat with any remaining batter.
Serve the warm waffles with a drizzle of honey, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and fresh berries or nuts for added Mediterranean flair.
