The Greek navy was able to defeat the Persian navy through superior tactics, better naval strategy, and the advantages of local knowledge. During the Battle of Salamis, the Greeks, led by Themistocles, used the narrow straits to their advantage, allowing their smaller, more maneuverable triremes to outmaneuver the larger Persian ships. Additionally, the Greeks demonstrated exceptional coordination and unity, which contrasted with the often disorganized Persian forces. This combination of strategic advantage and effective execution led to a decisive Greek victory.
How was the Persian empire weakened?
King Xerxes tried to carry on his father Darius I's attempt to establish an ethnic frontier by subjugating mainland Greece, as the mainland Greek states were fomenting rebellion in the Greek states in Asia which were under Persian control.

Although the internal fighting in the Greek world subsequently eroded the strength of the Greek states, and Persian gold was able to buy influence in them, the rise of Macedonia, and Philip II's and then Alexander's control of Greece tipped the balance of power against Persia. Alexander took the empire's Mediterranean coastline and so removed the Persian fleet, and as on land Persia's military forces were unable to match the power of Macedonian-Greek forces, he was able to defeat them in three major battles, and so take over the Persian Empire.

What were some of the major factors that contributed to Greek defeat against the invading armies of Philip II?
The Peloponnesian War and the subsequent ongoing wars between the city states led by Sparta and Thebes had exhausted the Greek city-states. Sparta's remaining military force was restricted to trying to maintain control of its territory. Athens had shrunk from losses to the plague and the wars.

The cities were reduced to accepting Philip as Hegemon (leader) of Greece. After his murder, there was an uprising, but Alexander took control and put it down and destroyed Thebes and sold its population into slavery as a warning to the other cities.
