I think you might be confusing the actual myth with the 1981 movie The Clash of the Titans, which has very little in common with the original story.
In the movie, the island is never named - it is only mentioned that it sits at the edge of the Underworld.
In the myth of Perseus, the actual location of Medusa is never given. It is mentioned in Prometheus Bound that the Gorgons, and their sisters, the Graeae, lived far off "on Kisthene's dreadful plain", which is in what is now Western Turkey, on the coast of the Aegean. Since traveling across the Mediterranean was treacherous, and Medusa personified the dangers of traveling across open water, this makes a lot of sense.
