For a really good answer to what happened to Atlantis, just read Erik Von Daniken Odessy of the Gods.
Very interesting read, and a lot of what he says makes sense.
Description from amazon.com:
Quote:
Book Description Best-selling author Erich Von Daniken turns his attention to ancient Greece! Von Daniken's exhausting research suggests the Greek 'gods' were in fact extraterrestrial beings who arrived on Earth thousands of years ago. Archaeological evidence and the writings of the ancients, including Aristotle, prove these gods interbred with humans, performed genetic experiments, and bred 'mythical' creatures, such as centaurs and Cyclops.
For anyone interested in Greece, extraterrestrial encounters, or the untold story of civilization, Odyssey of the Gods is a fascinating and revolutionary interpretation of ancient Greek sites and legends. Odyssey of the Gods explores evidence suggesting:
* The oraclar site of Delphi was an aircraft refueling station * Jason's pursuit of the golden fleece was in fact a search for an essential aircraft component. * The ancient cities of Troy and Atlantis were one in the same * The city was destroyed in a war between aliens or their descendants * What we now recognize as 'Greek myth' is in fact history
Hey, I didn't say it would be for an answer full of hard scientific fact, its just an interesting read, and don't take the description from amazon to heavily read it your self. Its a very good book.

Unfortunatly when I was there, Akrotiri was shut due to an accident a few years ago.
