Hi amyB i cant tell you the breed, just wanted to say your tort is gorgeous, has a lovely smooth shell!
You may need to post some plastron shots, that would make it easier for people to advise you.

It's a Spur-thighed, Testudo graeca, but without a plastron picture I can't tell subspecies.

I agree with Terry, it does look like a Graeca graeca, what a beauty! If you can get some plastron shots I'd really like to see them, and as Dan says it would be extra confirmation
Have you any history on this fella?
