Real or fake?

If this is just for you to check, I don't think you will get to the bottom of it.
On the other hand, if this is a legal issue, phone companies store all texts for several years, maybe even indefinitely.
Police can access the records, but I don't know if a court order is required.

They store records that a text was sent/received. They may or may not store the actual text for up to 30 days. Varies widely throughout the industry, but most do not. In the US you need a court order to obtain records. Not sure about Greece.

That said, most forged images are not expertly done and can be spotted by small things like mis-matching shadows or other anomalies

Well said and sometimes they take a while to spot. Several years ago someone posted a "leaked" photo of a new pickup truck model that nobody had yet seen. It looked perfectly authentic and while we all suspected trickery, none of us could spot a flaw. Then, someone spotted it and it then seemed VERY obvious -- the truck had no rear differential! It was indeed a faked-up photo and all but one of us felt pretty stupid at having not seen something so obvious.
