Who was surprised? Not the southern Greeks who defeated them.

They had a plan - destroy the Persian navy. Having done this, half the Persian army was sent home because they could not be fed in such a poor country.

Also the Greek cities who had kept their armies at home defending against the threat of an amphibious attack were now able to send them out to concentrate against the remaining Persian army and defeat it.
