The turning point was the defeat of the Persian fleet at Salamis the year before, which saw the naval threat to the Greek cities ended and enabled them to send their armies to Plataea to unite instead of being kept at home trying to defend their cities, and half the Persian army sent home as there was no food for it in the winter without a fleet to supply it.

Plataea saw the defeat of the reduced Persian land force and ended the invasion.

Why was the battle of plataeu a turning point for Greece?

Plataea was the most important battle for the Greek city states. When Xerxes fled taking a large number of troops with him after the unlikely victory of the Athenians in the battle of Salamis against the mighty Persian navy, immediately the Greek city state alliance marched their soldiers against the general Mardonius and his 300 000 men. The Greeks won and the Greco-Persian war was finally over. Had the Greeks lost then there would be no Greece at all as it would be replaced by the Persian's dominant culture.
