Celebrating Valentine's Day might not be a widely celebrated traditional festivity for most Turks, but the day was a perfect opportunity for some romantics in the country to redeclare their love or even pop the big question.

Couples are flocking to Turkey's picturesque Cappadocia region for Valentine's Day getaways, with occupancy rates at local accommodation topping 80% for this weekend, including the big day, Feb. 14.

Cappadocia offers guests fabulous holiday opportunities with its unique natural, historical and cultural richness, tailor made for special couples' weekends.

Nuriye Kayalı chose a calf over a diamond ring for Valentine's Day present 10 years ago. Now, she owns a farm.

"I thought I would lose the ring while working on the farm. A calf, on the other hand, was a window of opportunity," the 42-year-old woman told Anadolu Agency.

She now owns a farm of 30 cows which she calls 'love'.

Valentine's Day is an important time of year not only for lovers in Greece but also the businesses where they spend money to celebrate.

Among the world's most expensive cities for Valentine's Day, Movinga placed the Greek capital 58th.

I have always disliked Valentine's Day (which is called "Lovers' Day" in Turkey). I did not like this day even when times were better in the country. What is this teddy bear, for Pete's sake? If you are old enough to have a lover then what exactly are you doing with a teddy bear?
