This is Lithuania 🇱🇹 — what it is, and what sits on the far side of the planet from it. The antipode is the point you would reach by digging straight through the centre of the Earth.

Start near the middle of Lithuania and dig straight down through the centre of the Earth, and you would surface around 55.0912° S, 155.8722° W, in South Pacific Ocean 🌊. That spot is open water; the nearest coast is New Zealand 🇳🇿, roughly 1,878 km (1,167 miles) south-east — far enough out that no shore would be in sight.
The closest settlement of any size is Dunedin, New Zealand, about 2,559 km (1,590 miles) from the point.
