The ANTARES collaboration aims to deploy a 0.1 km2 neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean sea by 2004. Neutrinos will be detected through the muons produced in their interaction with the surrounding matter. The muon trajectory in turn can be reconstructed from the arrival time of the emitted Cherenkov photons at the detector's photomultipliers. The reconstruction software should be highly efficient and able to provide the best possible angular resolution for astronomy. In this work the various reconstruction methods developed within the ANTARES collaboration, some of them based on novel concepts, are reviewed. We mainly focus on muon reconstruction, but dedicated techniques for neutrino oscillations and electromagnetic shower reconstruction are briefly presented as well. The performances of the different reconstruction algorithms estimated using Monte Carlo simulated events are given. Finally, the method used to reconstruct real atmospheric muons recorded with a first prototype string is explained.
