The ANTARES neutrino telescope is the largest Cherenkov detector currently in operation in Mediterranean sea. The search for point-like neutrino sources is one of the telescope goals. For this reason, both the detector angular resolution and the pointing accuracy need a proper estimation. Measuring the deficit of the atmospheric muons in the direction of the Moon induced by the absorption of primary cosmic rays, the so called Moon shadow, allows to evaluate the pointing performance of the telescope. In this contribution we show the result of the analysis of the data taken between 2007 and 2016. The Moon shadow is detected with 3.5σ significance. This is the first measurement of the ANTARES angular resolution for atmospheric muons and its absolute pointing using a celestial calibration source. The presented results confirm the good pointing performance of the detector as well as the expected angular resolution.
