Me and hubby are planning on a hol to Santorini next year for our 20th wedding anniversary. but we want perfect weather if possible. somewhere romantic, and me... im worried about earthquakes (experienced one in zante oct 2005)are they common in Santorini? because I dont want to go through that excitement again if i have to :cry)
Been looking at package hols and it is sooo expensive, has anyone here done diy? any recommendations welcome, hotels , weather, resorts, h/b or sc. thankyou in advance if you reply.

Have a look at Smaragdi Village in Perissa through Kosmar. We didn't experience any earthquakes while we were there. They have their own website and so you should be able to do diy. All the best.
For somewhere romantic, I'd recommend Oia, which is very pretty and is a wonderful place to view the sunset. Fira is lovely and well worth a visit but it rather more touristy and can be expensive. The beaches in resorts like Perissa are black volcanic sand, as long as you don't mind this, they are fine but it wouldn't be my fist choice for a beach holiday.
im worried about earthquakes
if you are worried about earthquakes then KEEP away from Greece,Turkey,Cyprus,Bulgaria,Albania,Lebanon,etc, they ALL lay on on near the eastern European/ western Asia Fault line, and will experience at least 3 quakes a week [and you wont usually feel them] occasionally one will come along that can be felt or cause damage,
as property in the eastern med is either newish [built to withstand quakes] or so old and solid it's stood the test of time ,then why are you worried and as previous poster said ..you have more chance of being run over in the UK than being injured in a quake
