They had a superior navy. At the Battle of Salamis, the Greeks dealt a heavy blow to the Persian fleet in the narrow waters of the strait of Salamis. The next year, they united their armies and defeated the Persian army at Plataia, and the residue of its fleet at Mycale. The Persians had no choice but to retreat.
By uniting the independent city-states into temporary coalition, and developing a superior navy, they were able, over the period of 50 years that the wars continued, to turn early Persian successes into ongoing Greek successes, causing Persia to agree to peace.
The Persian thought the Persian Empire. The coalitions of Greek city-states thought the coalitions of Greek city-states.

It did not win the Persian Wars, which went from 499 to 449 BCE. On the Greek side there were over 200 city-states of which Athens was one.

The Greek and Persian War started in 499 B.C.
