The ANTARES neutrino telescope is currently under construction at a depth of 2500 m in the Mediterranean Sea, about 40 km off the coast from Toulon, France. In the final configuration (beginning of 2008) ANTARES will consist of 900 photomultiplier tubes mounted on 12 vertical strings. The detector installation and subsequent data taking started in spring 2005 with the deployment of the instrumentation line (MILOM). With the first 5 detector strings currently in operation ANTARES is already the largest neutrino telescope in the Northern hemisphere. First data collected from ANTARES lines confirm the detector design parameters. This enables ANTARES to achieve an angular resolution better than 0.3° for neutrino events above 10 TeV. First data have also been used to verify that the muon reconstruction works well.
