They did not invade the Peloponnesian Peninsula, the had a specific target of the two Ionian cities of Eretria and Athens which had been in an expedition which had burnt down its provincial capital of Asia Minor.
The object was to establish local tyrants to govern the cities and stop them interfering in the Persian Empire.
They got Eretria but lost against Athens at Marathon. This led to a lated Persian invasion ten years later to bring all of mainland Greece within its empire to bring stability to the area.
