They abandoned the city before the arrival of the Persian army, their families seeking shelter in the cities of the Peloponnese. Some males stayed in the city, trying to defend the Acropolis (failed), some located themselves on the island of Psyttalia, but most embarked on the 180 ships of their navy and fought at sea.
Athens was not burned. The Persians looted it and destroyed the statues of their gods in retaliation for the Athenians burning the Persian gods earlier in Sardis. The Persian didn't burn the city as they used it as accommodating their army in 480 and 479 BCE.

OK, first its the Athenians and Spartans, come on. I"m a kid and i can spell better then who asked this. Athenians and Spartans were trained in different things. The Spartans were trained purely for war. At age 7 all Spartan boys were sent to school to learn how to fight, and lie, and steal food. They were essentially taught to fight and stay alive. Spartan women were taught how to be a good wife and how to have children but other than that women were not taught very much. I'm not exactly sure what Athenians were taught. Some were taught to fight, some to be other professions such as a doctor, and women were more respected and had better rights in Athens.
