They first defeated the Persian fleet at Salamis which removed the Persian amphibious threat to their cities and allowed them to send out the armies being held at home to defend them. It also meant that Persia could not feed its army without protection of its supply fleet, and it had to send half it's army home.

The combined armies then defeated the army of Persia and it's Greek allies at Plataia, and simultaneously defeated the rump of the Persian fleet at Mycale.
