  abstract = {{M}uons created by nu(mu) charged current ({CC}) interactions in the water surrounding the {ANTARES} neutrino telescope have been almost exclusively used so far in searches for cosmic neutrino sources. {D}ue to their long range, highly energetic muons inducing {C}herenkov radiation in the water are reconstructed with dedicated algorithms that allow for the determination of the parent neutrino direction with a median angular resolution of about 0 degrees.4 for an {E}-2 neutrino spectrum. {I}n this paper, an algorithm optimized for accurate reconstruction of energy and direction of shower events in the {ANTARES} detector is presented. {H}adronic showers of electrically charged particles are produced by the disintegration of the nucleus both in {CC} and neutral current interactions of neutrinos in water. {I}n addition, electromagnetic showers result from the {CC} interactions of electron neutrinos while the decay of a tau lepton produced in nu(tau) {CC} interactions will, in most cases, lead to either a hadronic or an electromagnetic shower. {A} shower can be approximated as a point source of photons. {W}ith the presented method, the shower position is reconstructed with a precision of about 1 m; the neutrino direction is reconstructed with a median angular resolution between 2 degrees and 3 degrees in the energy range of 1-1000 {T}e{V}. {I}n this energy interval, the uncertainty on the reconstructed neutrino energy is about 5%-10%. {T}he increase in the detector sensitivity due to the use of additional information from shower events in the searches for a cosmic neutrino flux is also presented.},
