[Atlas]

The Minoans weren't the Atlanteans.

I can actually make a pretty good case that the Minoans were the Atlanteans and that the war Plato talks about was the well-known conflict between the Minoans and the Mycenaens (with Santorini, of course being the main capital).

Having said that, I would prefer for Atlantis to have been an Atlantic-based culture that we haven't discovered yet either in Morocco, the Azores, Canaries, Bimini, Cuba or South America.  All have points in their favor, and, of course, points against, too.
