First, bribing the Greek city-state aristocracy to side with them, and for those which didn't, an attempt at military suppression.
The military strategy was to threaten the Greek city-states with naval attack, which made them keep their armies at home to protect their city. This was successful until the Greeks set about to destroy the Persian navy.
