Early reports said three people - a Greek pilot and two Russian passengers - were aboard the flight.
Authorities were looking for survivors. A team of Coast Guard divers, six Coast Guard vessels and a Hellenic Air Force Super Puma helicopter were taking part in the rescue effort.
The island has reportedly been left without electricity after the accident.
