There is currently no right or wrong answer to this question.

There is a possibility that Atlantis exists. There is also the possibility it was just a story. The only way we'll truly know is if it is ever discovered.

Similarly, the lost cities of Babylon, Machu Picchu and Troy have been re-discovered. So, if Atlantis did exist, it may be re-discovered one day.

Apparently all the secrets of Atlantis, including maps of its location, were in the Library of Alexandria. Which burned down. We know for sure that everything the Ancient Egyptians knew about medicine, astronomy and so on was lost in the Library of Alexandria, so if anything concerning Atlantis was in there too, it has also been lost forever.

Then again there is the possibility that we have alreadyfound Atlantis but haven't realised it. We have discovered dozens of cities and towns that have been swallowed by seas and oceans, particularly around the Mediterranean.
