in a nutshell: Atlantis was an island power during the Ice Age, located exactly where Plato wrote - at the Mid-Atlantic ridge. The Azores are probably the tops of mountain peaks of former Atlantis, but most Atlanteans and their cities were at the shore, just like today. Now, during the Ice Age the water levels of the oceans are much lower, and the Mid-Atlantic ridge acts like a hinge, the less weight on top, the higher it sticks out, this is called Isostatic rebound. Then Earth got hit by one or several asteroids or comets, probably impacting the Ice cap, which caused instant meltdown, and all the Land Ice went into the oceans, causing massive floods, as well as increased volume and thus weight of the sea, putting even more pressure on the Mid-Atlantic ridge, which causes it to get pushed down even more (Isostatic depression). I have no idea if there's anything left of the city down there or if it has been utterly destroyed, but it's down there.
