I believe it is in the Jordan Valley because God said to the north of the garden there was a sea that was clear and sweet to the taste. The sea of galilee is described to be like that. Also just south the sea of Galilee there is a town called Adam and pictures I have seen of the area are beautiful.
God sent Adam west out of the Garden to live in the cave of treasures. There was a mountain close by that he would make offerings from, I believe it to be Mount Carmel.
I could write more but I'm looking for your idea's, Thanks.
2 And to the north of the garden there is a sea of water, clear and pure to the taste, unlike anything else; so that, through the clearness thereof, one may look into the depths of the earth.
8 Again, also, because God is merciful and of great pity, and governs all things in a way that He alone knows -- He made our father Adam live in the western border of the garden, because on that side the earth is very broad.

The garden of Eden was located in Turkey:
The traditional location for the garden of Eden has long been suggested to have been a mountainous area some 225 km (140 mi) SW of Mount Ararat and a few kilometers S of Lake Van, in the eastern part of modern Turkey. That Eden may have been surrounded by some natural barrier, such as mountains, could be suggested by the fact that cherubs are stated to have been stationed only at the E of the garden, from which point Adam and Eve made their exit.—Ge 3:24.

I honestly believe that the landscape was rearranged during the flood. It could be anywhere. Where there was once a sea it could now be a mountain. Don't forget how the land rose and the ocean bottoms sank and that is how the water level went below ground level. Because of this I don't think we can know because the landscape would have even looked different to Noah as he came off the ark, so even he couldn't pass down the location of Eden orally

Scholars believe it is probably somewhere in Mesopotamia, which is modern Iraq, since two of the four rivers in its vicinity are the well-known Tigris and Euphrates.
"A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. The name of the first is Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there.) The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush. The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates." (Genesis 2:10-14, NIV)
Whether or not the area looks beautiful right now is irrelevant since it is apparently invisible to our eyes and being guarded by "cherubim and a flaming sword." (Genesis 3:24, NIV)

To merge history, christianity and science, the Garden of Eden may have been in the fertile crescent of mesopotamia, between the tigris and euphrates rivers. History says that civilization and humankind may have begun there, and it makes sense that's where the Garden of Eden may have been. Chances are that God destroyed the garden once Adam and Eve had been banished into the wilderness so that they couldn't go back.

The earth today looks nothing like it did pre-flood. There is no way to know where the garden was located.

I think it is a literary invention used to make a good Bible story. It doesn't matter where Eden is or whether it was real or is mythological. As long as everyone gets the point of the story, we're all good.

Nobody will know and no body will ever find it. I believe the flood destroyed everything on earth.
