Right you are atalante. I believe that it was the late Ulf Richter who theorized that Atlantis was in fact built in a river delta.   I don’t know if I completely agree with his theories but they are fascinating.   

He also begat and brought up five pairs of twin male children; and dividing the island of Atlantis into ten portions

The above was taken from Plato's Timaeus (Benjamin Jowett version)

Atlantis was an island that was big enough to be devided up into ten kingdoms, To deny this would be to deny the man who’s works form the foundation upon which most if not all Atlantis research has been based upon.

Blue Hue I would be interest to know how your above information even comes close to tying in with your theory  If the word Nesos means Raised terrain then wouldn’t that mean that Atlantis was on a flat top hill or perhaps mountain?   I believe that in Plato’s own writings he described the city as being situated upon a small hill.
   
Which ever way you look at it Atlantis was not built at the bottom of a volcano
