The actual location of the fictional place has never been accurately determined. There are a number of theories as to the location - ranging from off the coast of america - to the Mediterranean Sea.

Many people believe that the historical basis for the Atlantis myth was the Minoan Civilization on the island of Thera in the Mediterranean (now called Santorini).
The Minoan eruption is a key marker for the Bronze Age chronology of the Eastern Mediterranean world.
The Island exploded in a huge volcanic eruption that destroyed the Minoan civilization across the whole Mediterranean somewhere between 1627 BCE and 1600 BCE.
