The Greeks formed and executed a superior strategy - to eliminate the Persian naval threat to their cities and then send out their armies, which had been held back to protect their cities, to unite and drive back the Persian land force.
They defeated the Persian navy at Salamis, and as the Persians had no fleet to protect their resupply ships, they had to send half their army home for the winter. In the spring, the Greek cities sent out their armies which combined to defeat the half-strength Persian army and its Greek allies at Plataea. At the same time the Greek fleet finished off the Persian fleet rump holed up at Mycale.
