I always knew there was something wrong with this city.(Joe) There's some suggestions as well that Scheria, an interpretation of it is that because it was the furthest point of this adventure that it was out in the Atlantic and it was Atlantis basically. There was a reference to 'Atlantean' people. And their land or the island they lived on was referred to as a first utopia, the first reference to utopia in literature.
(L) So they were real. So where was the island located?
A: Not an island. Was a confused memory of an area around present day St. Petersburg.

PS In Russian, Scheria (the name of the island where the Phaeacians lived) sounds similar to the word Skerries. Skerries (Swedish skär, Old Norse sker - cliff, rock in the sea)
The Skerries were formed as a result of glacial erosion of part of the continent, which was eventually flooded by the sea so that only the highest parts of the land remained above the surface in the form of islands, islets or even individual rocks.
